Wendy V. v. Santiago
Annotate this CasePlaintiff filed an ex parte restraining order application against Defendant and requested a hearing on the application. The trial court denied Plaintiff’s application and request for a hearing. Plaintiff subsequently filed a second application for a restraining order. The trial court also denied this application without a hearing. Plaintiff filed an appeal with the Appellate Court and an application for certification to appeal pursuant to Conn. Gen. Stat. 52-265a. The Supreme Court granted the section 52-265a application. The trial court then held a hearing on the applications. The applications were denied after the hearing. Thereafter, the Supreme Court ordered the parties to address whether Plaintiff’s appeals were moot. The Supreme Court subsequently dismissed the appeals for lack of subject matter jurisdiction, holding that there was no practical relief the Court could afford Plaintiff, and this case did not meet the capable of repetition yet evading review exception to the mootness doctrine.
